Abstract

See full text

The present invention is embodied in a system and method for automatically adjusting gaze and head pose in a videoconferencing environment, where each participant has a camera and display. The images of participants are rendered in a virtual 3D space. Head-pose orientation and eye-gaze direction are corrected so that a participant's image in the 3D space appears to appear to be looking at the person they are looking at on the screen. If a participant is looking at the viewer, their gaze is set toward the 'camera', which gives the perception of eye-contact.
